The ATP Finals prize money pool has once again increased and an undefeated champion can earn the biggest prize cheque at an official ATP event, surpassing the recent record amount that Carlos Alcaraz won at the US Open.
Jannik Sinner won the 2024 edition of the season-ending tournament as he won all five of his matches (three round-robin clashes, his semi-final and the final) without dropping a set, and he walked away with a cheque of $4,881,100.
The prize money for an undefeated champion will pass the $5m mark this year as there has been an increase of just under four per cent, coming to a grand total of $5,071,000.
Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka won the biggest cheques at official tournaments at the US Open as the men’s and women’s singles champions each received $5,000,000.
Of course, Sinner has won more at the Six Kings Slam as he earned $6m (a $1.5m participation fee and a $4.5m first prize) after beating Carlos Alcaraz in the final earlier in October. He also won that same amount last year after also beating Alcaraz at the inaugural exhibition tournament in Riyadh.
But in terms of official ATP events, the $5,071m will be the biggest.
